Exclamation sunroof off tracks, help!

a few nights ago i was driving down the highway and my sunroof opened by itself. i pulled over because it wouldnt close, i tried closing it with force, it didnt work. yesterday i had my friend and i pull it shut so i could drive around without freezing. now the sunroof is off track. the front passenger side corner is pushed up and the back driver side corner is down. what can i do to fix this?

You're going to have to remove your headliner to access it. Mine won't fully shut anymore because it came off the track I think.

Try that and let me know how it goes, I don't feel like removing my headliner again.

My switch is bad, but even with a bad switch it would close by putting the key in the door, I used to do that before when it got stuck. Now it doesn't move at all, it made a nice clunk a month ago when I tried. Then it just stopped moving all together.
